Take a screenshot of better battery stats wakelock since unpluged screen and post it here.

How is this related to VR? Look in the CF-root thread.

Just so you know that is a REALLY old kernel, with some real issues and should look into updating your rom, using a stock rom from the thread in orig android dev or a custom rom of your choosing.

SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH and ask questions in the RIGHT thread if you MUST ask stupid questions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] will-i-am1977:
wow there are alot of pages, not sure which one you want.

hope you can make sense of it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
i think you can try flashing via ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
1) media player, so you where listening to music

2) Do you use latitude, if not make sure you are not signed in

3) Turn down the update frequency in facebook

4) Did you wipe user data before coming to this rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
FYI, don't call me stupid as we were all noobs one time or another!

Also, it IS related to VR as I need the CF-Root to install it in the first place!

At the end of the day, don't act like a douche towards somebody who's politely asking for assistance and you won't get treated with disrespect back, k?

PS: I'd take a class in manners if I were you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] will-i-am1977:
ah no. :(

Thought it's not a requirement, is it too late now?

will i lose my apps? and settings?

Thanks in advance

Need help - First Timer

Hi,

I am new and proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S II(was using LG Viva & Nokia N79 before this) but I have few questions. Please someone help me with them

May be stupid questions.

I am using unbranded mobile, with Vodafone.

My Phone details as below

PDA: I9100XWKF3

Phone: I9100DDKE4

CSC: I9100ODDKF3

Now after reading few posts I did root my mobile. But now if I want to resolve the AOS bug can you please tell me which ROM I need to flash?

Do I need to put any specific files for

1. PDA

2. Phone

3. CSC

Or is it like specific files for kernel and rest 2 can be anything?

If anyone let me know or even give me link to find above details I will be really glad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
I called the question stupid! I can call you stupid as well if you want, here, "you are stupid".

And i wasnt being that much of a "douche" towards you, I can try harder if you would like though.

Your answer: Flash any CF-root kernel, chose one of these, it doesnt matter, flash a kernel baby, live free and fast ;)

I have great manners, but i dont give a toss :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
AOS bug isn't resolved yet I don't think. Guess were waiting on Samsung for that one.

Flash ninphetamine kernal then any KG6 rom and modem of your choice
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Not really at all related to this rom, but here we go.

You can

1) flash a stock firmware, theres a list and guide here

Go for KG6 or something

If you want to use a custom rom, for example this great fantastic A* rom, flash CF root from here or even better use this kernel, download VR2.4.2 from the first posts, put the zip into your internal memory, boot into recovery and flash the zip.

Wipe everything first, so backup what you want/need

Look into titanium backup.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Its better in the KG(X) 2.3.4 roms.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
i know many prefer Ninphetamine kernel over cf root. I am facing reboot issues with it and always end up re-flashing cf root kernel.

VR need to go back to its root of being a stock rom with ability to add tweaks thru vrtweaks :) just my thoughts :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
Apologies if this has been raised before but I am not at my pc to do a proper search?

I want to get rid of that annoying vibration when the battery is charged and the phone is off. I installed the patch from VRTweaks but I still have it.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's outwith my control as phone isn't running.

When it is turned on, it won't do it though with that tweak :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Then you should catch a last_kmsg and report it in that thread in the way described, and hopefully it will be fixed :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
If you are having reboot problems, install a terminal editor.

After a reboot, do the following

su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /mnt/sdcard/last_kmsg

And post the logfile in the kernel thread

This will only work with 2.0.4 or (recommended) 2.0.5
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SERGI.3210:
hi to all!!! currently i´m running a jvr stock rom and i want to flash villain rom... do i need any modem file extra or anything?¿?¿?¿

if i need it can anyone give me the link to the thread? thx!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rmourar:
No need to flash anything else, but you can, if you want flash a newer modem (completely optional) and it's recommended that you flash the latest ninphetamine kernel (2.0.5) after you've flashed villain as villain zip packs the older 2.0.4 version of it...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aboycalledsu:
yep. i checked that out first, but the notification bar was already gone before then. going to try reflashing...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
Thanks pulser for explaining that. Whatever Samsung put on the phone to run that charging program seems to be causing a lot of problems: the CM7 team can't figure out how to stop the phone automatically switching on when the charger is plugged in (if the phone is off and the charger plugged in, the graphic of the battery charging starts and then the phone switches on. If the phone is in recovery, the power off option doesn't work-phone boots back into recovery).

Wonder what genius at Samsung thought it would be a clever idea to have a notification go off in the middle of the night when the phone is off (and which can never be switched off)?!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tshoulihane:
The problem is that asking for a solution is not particularly respectful when the answer is already available, or the question more relevant somewhere else. The trend today seems to be to not work out the answer to a problem, but to ask for the answer. To the type of person who does development, this behaviour is incredibly frustrating and is probably going to lead to the withdrawal of a proportion of the development community to a quieter place where they can actually get on with the things that they enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stoney73:
Nothing wrong with asking a question, even a stupid one. But when you are asking someone to do your own legwork for you, i.e. find the cf-root thread, because you are too lazy to scroll down the development page.....well, theres something wrong with that.

This isn't a macdonalds drive-thru.

As an old saying goes, you can lead a noob to xda but you can't make them search!

Xda's thread search isn't great but gets the job done.

Or read a bit, it shouldn't take more than 20mins to get though the thread and when you are playing with a costly phone its a good idea to know what you are getting into!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
right, what battery % was you on when you took those stats? and what was you phone up time?

Edit:

You have a lot of wakelocks!

SugarSync_AndroidApp (com.sharpcast.sugarsync.SugarSync): 60 s (60 s) Count:4 0,4%

SCREEN_FROZEN (Sistema Android): 2 s (2 s) Count:269 0,0%

These are the ones to be worried about, unless you know that you had those apps syncing on purpose?

however you screen on time is not far off your phone awake time, so there is no real reason for you phone to be draining, maybe your brightness is too high? or your phone too hot? or you simply just need to recalibrate.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
Thank you for pointing me to Chainfire's app: it fixed the problem that I've had since I got the phone. I would never have found it if you hadn't pointed it out to me. The man knows his stuff!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MrBert_Cookie:
Yup, I didn't notice that evernote and sugarsync that I use for my work were on 1 hr sync, damn me :rolleyes:

Widgetlocker seems to be the worst one,I guess..

And yes, the phone seems too hot.Yesterday after a 10 min call I cooked an egg on the screen.Gotta recalibrate, yes

I own you a beer ! :D

Hi all! First time on this thread, so first of all thank you pulser and all VR team!

After some months of gingervillain on my old desire, i'll decided to try VR on my GSII ...and this was a good choice ;)

KE7 > cognition > thunderbolt > some others that I don't remember > leaked KG3 > leaked KG6 > latest chainfire 4.1 cf-root for KG6 > wipe cache/data/system/data and flash of VR 2.4.2 > tried VR, installed some app > then flashed Black Android Theme V2.1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131746) > battery calibration at 100%

All is working fine...mmm...fine isn't the word...PERFECT i would say

Only one problem, StartingAlertService...I've read something here on XDA starting from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192696 and then on BetterBatteryStats thread but I don't know what to do (normally I've set 2-3 "appointments" every day)

I'm facing this problem only with VR 2.4.2...any suggestion?

SC20110804-132205: after 12h 3G data and some hours wifi, sync gmail/calendar/rubric and facebook (but set on no sync, so only for the rubric)

SC20110804-145537: see the description before this + 90' wifi and some gps

SC20110804: with my phone in airmode, StartingAS is stuck, no more wakeups

black: what's inside app on the theme i've installed

Thank you all!

Sorry for my bad english and my noobness :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SERGI.3210:
where can i find newer modem files???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
I hope you have not fallen into the percentages trap....

Battery used on that page always has to add up to 100%... so if your display and other apps are low then Android OS will be high, if your display is high then usually Android OS is low. Most people who think they had the "Android OS Bug" did not infact have it, the bug that was there in android 2.3.3 was fixed in 2.3.4 so if you have been using roms based on KG1 or higher then you will not have had the bug.

those stats are relative anyway if display is say 70% and android os 24% of a 2% overal loss (i.e. 98% battery left) android os has infact only used 24% of 2% which is a tiny tiny amount.

I would add: get rid of JD. It generates part of the problem because most apps start obsessing about getting a connection and keep holding wakelocks. JD ist a bad idea...

Disable JD, take another reading leaving le phone alone longer to differentiate wakelock with screen on and off.

There is something really wrong with notifications in the stock cal app. I pulled the source and will try to understand if there is a good reason to hold a wakelock as long as there is a snoozed/pending reminder.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
This ROM does not touch modem. It replaces system filesystem, and kernel. It's not that good an idea to bundle modem with a ROM, as it increases problems with users and signal issues - what one are you on btw?

KG6 modem, and I came from Sensation ROM, not sure if that has anything to do with it?

Meh, I'd theme as usual - this is only a distribution means, so if you keep your modified PNGs you should be fine.

It's yet to actually be proven working yet though :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just uninstall original iPlayer apk, and then install new one. I won't be including it in the ROM, due to the fact it's VERY easy to run up a large bill if you forget to use WiFi, and not everyone has unlimited 3g.

On VR 2.1 i used to get 38 hours. Now with 2.4.2, and Black theme 2.1, I get 51.5 hours :) KICKASS!! No JuiceDefender..it actually drains more than it saves. I did play some games, use a WIFI a bit, camera, . And fiddle with the phone, not toooo much though. No data, except once in a while to manually sync.

Thanks Pulser. Keep up the good work, and the amazing support.

Screenshot isn't accurate as it starts from 95%. I plugged in my phone for like 5 mins to the computer, and it seems to count from there. And the phone battery also seems to go up on its own, when I wake it up after idle sometimes.

Hey guys,

Coming from MIUI, really need the battery life considering I stream radio at work for like 4 hours.

Anyways, when I have to do the wipe data/factory reset.

Should I also clean the Dalvik cache, and format /system?

Edit:

Forgot to mention, I'm not using CF-Root, because I already have CWM4 installed after installing ROM Manager on the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread. And MIUI is already rooted, so I'm assuming I can skip the CF_root step.

Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Should I just put it in the internal sd? And install it once VR is up and running?
